Tata Motors may have stolen the march in unveiling its electric vehicle (EV) plans, but for the country’s largest car maker Maruti Suzuki the pursuit of net zero emissions lies not so much in electrification as in rolling out vehicles that use diverse fuels that would help minimise its carbon footprint.
“Many people confuse electrification with decarbonisation,” Rahul Bharti, Executive Officer- Corporate Affairs, Maruti Suzuki told DH. “Even by 2030, a large chunk of the new car sales will be non-EVs. So we need a combination of technologies which reduce carbon (emissions) and is addressable to a large volume as well,” he added.
